Tasting Notes

This prestigious Chianti Classico DOCG represents the pinnacle of Italian winemaking excellence. At 13.5% alcohol, it presents a well-balanced and harmonious profile. Crafted from Sangiovese 100%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. It displays rich color intensity with complex aromas and a persistent finish. The fruit is sourced from vineyards at an altitude of 600 m. asl., with exposure to the South-East, on soils rich in fragments of rock permeability and low fertility. Vinification: 3 weeks of maceration with skins. The wine is aged 14 months in Allier oak barrels, then in bottle. A wine true to the storied winemaking heritage of Tuscany.
